The alleged head of a militant Islamic group was killed in a shootout with FBI agents in Detroit Wednesday, the FBI announced.
Luqman Ameen Abdullah and 10 other men were to be arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit a series of federal crimes.
From the FBI release: "During the arrests today, the suspects were ordered to surrender. At one location, four suspects surrendered and were arrested without incident. Luqman Ameen Abdullah did not surrender and fired his weapon. An exchange of gun fire followed and Abdullah was killed. An FBI canine was also killed during the exchange.
"Abdullah was the leader of part of a group which calls themselves Ummah ('the brotherhood'), a group of mostly African-American converts to Islam, which seeks to establish a separate Sharia-law governed state within the United States. The Ummah is ruled by Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rapp Brown, who is serving a state sentence in USP Florence, CO, ADMAX, for the murder of two police officers in Georgia. As detailed in the affidavit in support of the criminal complaint that was unsealed today, Abdullah has espoused the use of violence against law enforcement, and has trained members of his group in use of firearms and martial arts in anticipation of some type of action against the government. Abdullah and other members of this group were known to carry firearms and other weapons."
That was my first thought.
My expectation is just the opposite.
H. Rap Brown? I remember him from the ‘60’s!
They were all evil, Angela Davis, Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, Eldridge Cleaver, the Chicago 7, commies all.
Now they’re Muslims??
Weird, it was probably Arabs and Muslims who kidnapped their ancestors and sold them into slavery.

Yes, killing a police dog is considered murder.
Isn’t it time to pull out of Detroit? What’s our mission?
There is no strategic significance for the United States.
It’s their civil war and we should not interfere.
Meanwhile Zer0 confronts crime with signing a “gay hate crimes bill” and gives the bird to our soldiers in Afghanistan.

Huh? Missing your point...
Former Black Panther IIRC, what was once called a black militant or a black agitator. That was before they called themselves community organizers.
At the end of the day, it was a DOG. Nothing more. Nothing less. To raise it to the status of a human being is ludicrous.
Unless a Republican gets in the White House, this nation is in jeopardy of being nuked by crazed Islamists. (Maybe I missed your point, too... You have a depiction of Washington, nuked, and say that’s what will happen if a Republican gets in the White House. Did I read your first post correctly?)
I was referring to the islamicists burning down our government building with Rs inside.
I think maybe the point was meant to be these people wouldn’t bomb one of their own?
"Abdullah has espoused the use of violence against ... the government."
As long as Barry's there this won't happen. If a Repuiblican were in the WH expect destruction by these whackos.
H Rapp Brown... haven’t heard that name in years.
Hope I never hear it again, unless he’s about to get fried.
Yeah... I’m sad about the dog, and realize they do a LOT for military and law enforcement, but to face life in prison for killing one? That’s just NOT right, IMHO — like cruel and unusual punishment stuff. They don’t even give PEDOPHILES life sentences, rapists, or even murderers in some cases, but kill a police dog and you’ll never see outside the bars again? Nope, that’s not justice, IMHO.
At what point is this called a skirmish ?
“FBI kills extremist leader, Shootout in Detroit”
May God bless the FBI.
Rolling up the rug on the Islamified Rapp Brown gang. Two still at large, probably on the way to Cuber with Obama’s help.
If Sarah Palin achieves a federal electoral office , expect that. Its called cleaning up Washington.None of those buildings mean diddly squat at present.They are just empty elitist barns.
Why do you insist on insulting and demeaning the people of Baghdad?
Dearborn. Slightly southwest of Detroit. One of, if not THE, largest ME population outside of the ME.
